Aberdeen Central wasted little time getting on the scoreboard Tuesday night against Huron.
The Golden Eagles scored three goals in the match’s first 5 minutes, and nine before the half to cruise to an 11-0 win over the Tigers. Central is now 2-0 to begin the season.
Despite a lopsided win over a relatively inexperienced Huron squad, Central head coach Merle Aske was satisfied with his team’s performance.
“We knew going into (Tuesday) night, we knew what to expect, but at the same time, we need to be able to execute no matter what the situation is,” Aske said. “I think we handled our approach the correct way and we did a lot of things right. Don’t forget, it’s only our second game of the year. There will always be some areas we need to correct before we get into the meet of our season. But yeah, overall, good team performance.”
Nico Jung got the scoring going with an assist from Deborah Wills at the 35:32 mark of the first half. Two minutes later Grace Imbery hooked a corner kick into the back of the net for an unassisted goal and a 2-0 lead. Then less than 2 minutes after that Tori Heier found some space in front of the Huron net and scored off the assist from Emma Yeske making it a 3-0 lead.
“We did score, but we still have things to improve on,” said junior forward Wills. “Beginning the year against (Sioux Falls) O’Gorman then playing Huron (Tuesday) night, it’s kind of hard to see where we are (as a team). But if we practice hard, and stay focused, then I think we can do pretty well the rest of the season.”
